    How could i go about getting nether stars automatically? Thought about making a grinder in nether but the chunk won't be loaded and the nether wipes every now and then. Should i just kill a bunch of withers.
    And you can't summon wither in overworld.

    depending on the pack, u can tp them to your base and kill them ther. that way u only need a wither spawner in the nether

    Woot and Mystical Agriculture can cover those bases for you if their in the pack. Otherwise you can build a farm in the nether and chunk load it using the iron/gold block chunk loader and remove it before the reset.

    It's really simple to make a wither spawn room, here's an example I set up



    In the first picture, the blaze lamps behind the soul sand represent Block Placers, most block types are banned due to dupe glitches but Formation Planes and Project Red Block Placers still work, behind those block placers run redstone wire along their backside and set a timer of choice on top (I used Botanica's Hovering Hourglass)

    The second image gives a view of the redstone wiring and a view of the single blaze lamp

    The third and fourth images are better views of the final blaze lamp, this is where you will want to put a Draconic Evolution Grinder

    Last put not least, place a vacuum hopper connected to a tesseract or personal enderchest anywhere in the room and keep it chunk loaded. As long as it's set up right, is supplied with the proper materials, is in the Nether, and set up to a timer it should work perfectly fine.

    Skyfactory 3 Sadly doesn't have Project Red in it, nor Formation Planes..
    unless you mean the equivalent of Formation Plane for Refined Storage..
    Also, would you think Mechanical Users would work in place of any of those?

    I decided to give the modpack a try to find a solution for you, apparently AE got renamed to Refined Storage, can't say I like the change. That aside, the new equivalent of formation planes seems to be "constructor" and performs the same tasks

    It seems Refined Storage has bugged exporters though, it's exporters completely ignore the redstone signal filter when exporting to Constructors. Because of that, I had to make an unorthodox workaround otherwise it creates dozens of withers at once

    This is what I came up with, it needs a bit of tweaking though. As it is currently the heads end up placed before the soul sand and it tends to get jammed


    As far as Mechanical Users are concerned, I just tested them, it seems they work. For soul sand use the setting "Place Block" and for the wither heads "use item on block" for it to work correctly the redstone source has to come from the bottom instead of the top or it places the heads first.

    Please dont do that, more often than not the server will end up freaking out at some point about the withers being TPd across dimensions, especially if its just after they spawn, then an admin has to go figure out why there are hundreds of withers appearing in random places in the nether etc.
     
    Monkey_Banana1 and wyndman like this.

    Could you please elaborate on "freaking out"? Why would TP to overworld cause an invasion of withers in the nether?

    Easy, Wither is a very mobile boss, if there is even the slightest opening in your base, it will escape. If you don't deal with it then it will eventually end up killing players who were not expecting it, just keep it in the Nether, rebuilding the Wither room once a month isn't a big deal

    Well yeah, obviously proper containment and testing is important. However, I was interested more in what Kronnn said. It sounded to me like he was referring to some interesting mechanics on MyM platform where some plugin glitches when wither is TP'd. I want to avoid such surprising results hence my request for clarification to his statements.

    He means the players will freak out when withers start appearing all over the world because a player designed their system to move withers to the overworld.

    Ive seen all sorts of glitches teleporting withers from one place to another, it all depends on how theyre teleported ;) From withers escaping either side, to cloning withers, to immortal withers etc etc, none of which are great for players to be dealing with XD

    Ive had to deal with / fix issues caused by enough withers escaping while being teleported to assure you thats not true at all
